Operate | Emotional ABCs
Wake up, eyes open
order of operations
today’s task list scrolls.
Prioritize it
shuffle tasks to fit them all
got twenty-four hours.
Not a smooth operator, just driven.
I’ve got twenty-four hours to spend today.
Open eyes, get up, time to get livin’–
order of operations for the day.
Stay within the lines society draws.
Subconsciousness oozes thoughts between cracks.
Reorder the list, ditch it fast, the flaws
in that plan pile up ’till they fall back.
Respect the order of operations;
do things out of order–create chaos.
Must stick to the plan, work to completion.
Order’s necessity, avoid chaos
I operate at peak efficiency
when everything’s crashing down, don’t you see?
Program interrupts
disconnection evident
operations cease.
Task list deleted
order of operations
logic’s chain’s broken…
Oh my – don’t I know what being stressed out feels like. Excellent SonRyu. Be well my BP.
Thank you 🙂 I’m doing well
The mundanity of life brought to life! You are truly a senryu queen
Thank you 🙂 I didn’t know I had won the title.
It was an unopposed victory 🙂
Another good one. Great submission for O.
Thank you 🙂
love the “emotional ABC’s” series that you’re doing
Thank you 🙂 I’m trying to figure out what to do as a follow up.
The rhythm of your poetry felt stressful. Very well done! Favorite line, “Subconsciousness oozes thoughts between cracks”
Thank you 🙂 It’s been a bit stressful life that must have leaked into the poem 🙂 I like that line too. I wrote it in a comment on Buska’ or Moonskittle’s site and loved it. So I had to find a home for it. 🙂
You found a very good home for it!!
Thanks 🙂
You’re welcome.

Stress!!!! 👹👹 Well written! Hugs!
Thank you! Yes stress indeed! It’s a mind killer.
what a very creative way of describing life’s routines. I can relate… sometimes everything just keeps on shutting down and tasks are left undone. -_-
yes! Especially when you’re tired–then the routines themselves seem to make no sense 🙂
That is so true. Because your brain doesn’t heed to routine anymore. HAHA
Only when tired. At all other times I’m rigorous and disciplined in all that I do
Indeed. 😉
